7-10pm | the Tennessee Williams & New Orleans Literary Festival will host a lively, fanciful evening of drink, dancing, and celebration!

The event will be hosted by Michelle Nelson (LOVE the Poet), and music for the evening begins with DJ Sailor Hank followed by a set by Alexis and the Sanity, longtime members of Sweet Crude. The evening will close with the swinging sounds of The Slick Skillet Serenaders. 

Along with musical sets, there will be a royal tableau by the talented Vinsantos, Tsarina Hellfire, and the Mudlark Puppeteers presenting LadyBEAST as the 2025 Angel. Seeress MuggaRose will be available for tarot mini readings, Hell or High Water Tattoo will offer small rose tattoos, and Mint Fuel will be in the crowd for fabulous photo opps.
